Agent Carter may sadly be no more, but one of its writers has teased what may have happened on season three had it continued.

What to Read Next

Jose Molina was asked about what ideas they had for a prospective third season, with plans to take the action overseas.

"If memory serves, the initial thrust was going to come from the investigation into the assassination attempt on Jack Thompson," he told Den of Geek.

"We were hoping (assuming we could afford it) that the story would then lead us to London, where we would learn that Peggy's late brother Michael was not only alive and kicking, but involved in some very nefarious, super-villainous shenanigans."

While the show was controversially axed on ABC after just two seasons, Molina revealed that the team behind it would be up for a return if it was picked up.

"I think the creative team would all line up to return – the cast, the writers, etc – it would just be a matter of finding an outlet interested in airing the show," he continued.

"Given the series' ratings when it aired on ABC, finding that outlet seems like a bit of a long shot. It would be lovely to think that Netflix (home to so many awesome Marvel shows) would pick it up, but their shows all share a common universe and timeline that Carter doesn't share.

"Creatively, these shows tend to be very dark, and Agent Carter just doesn't have dark and brooding in its DNA."

Well, maybe Netflix can make an exception in this case?
